30/04/2002 (Agence Europe) - On the occasion of 1 May, (Labour Day), the General Secretary of the European Trade Labour Confederation (ETUC) is launching an appeal to "all workers to strengthen their commitment to justice and social progress, democracy and solidarity and against all forms of extremism and xenophobia". "We must consolidate the European social model. Resting on this model, Europe can and must contribute to controlling today's unbridled globalisation, to open the way to a globalisation that rests on real development for people, on social justice and the respect of human and trade union rights", declared Emilio Gabaglio.
